Isn't this where dirtman says, "build a buggie".

I think they look so cool though, if you are doing it start up a thread please!

This is where damn near everyone who did it says build a buggy dont go to crazy on the build....

Side note op where do you live? That looks alot like the nm terrain i used to wheel alot.

Yeah I can can see why you guys say that. I'll tell you what im perfectly happy on a stock wheelbase rig on 37s for a "do a little everything" kinda thing but would be even happier if I had a buggy to go with it for the more serious stuff ha

TheDirtman

Yes, build a buggy unless you plan on keeping the jeep forever and don't mind beating the sh#t out of it. If you can't shake the insanity I am glad to help where I can.

Rock Krawler Suspension

We have and our customers have done a few stretches on the two doors.

Here are a couple with 5-6" Stretch:

And here is the Daystar Jeep with a prototype 3" mid arm strech:

We will say be careful with the super duty axles, they make packaging on the front more difficult. If you plan on going to a coil over, ORI, or Air shock in the future there is no room for a low axle mount. Instead you will have to create a mount to go up through the fender for a true long travel dampener/coil over. That or you'll be running a shorter throw version with limited travel. You'll have to trim the differential to fit the lower links and typically because of that will have to use dual heim joints or get creative with link mounts. By no means are we saying don't use that axle, just a fair warning that they do require a little more work and may have some limitations.
